Morning
The fruit of the Spirit is . . . joy.
Joy in the Holy Ghost.--Unspeakable and full of glory.
Sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing . . . exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.--We glory in tribulations.
Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; . . . for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.--As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.--The joy of the LORD is your strength.
In thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.--For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
7:4
Evening
Jehovahshalom: The LORD send peace.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
Behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.--Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.--My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; when it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
He is our peace.--This [man] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.
